One of my quotes was misquoted in Tuesday's paper, so here it is again: "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, American Statesman.
Miz Collins is an old hand at manipulating info, Mr. Eppenbaugh, in fact she is a genius at it. If you want to speculate as to where Wilson and Goebbels are spending eternity, that's your privilege and your right. In my opinion, Miz Collins and a few others who write in are shorts on facts and long on their "opinions." Course, that's my opinion.
The fourth and fifth paragraphs of Miz Collins' letter left me in stitches. I guess the vice president of the United States using the "F" word repeatedly on prime-time television is to be accepted. Vice President Cheney's remark to Senator Leahy was not classy and it was not said on national TV. I don't care who it is, right or left, that kind of language is unacceptable from our nation's leaders on TV.
Miz Collins has been ranting since at least 2008, about the elderly, disabled and children left to die in the streets. She has yet to provide the names of states and cities and names of folks she has known this to be happening to. Documentation, dear lady, documentation. We can fight it better if we know who, what, when and where.
Progressives, liberal or conservative, are socialists wanting the "rich" to be the government, keeping its peasants under their thumb, while doling out the welfare. A European form of living, giving only what they want to the citizens. Government wealth and power. Exactly what our forefathers fought to get away from. It has taken us 300 years to come around to this. Our freedoms are being taken away including our freedom of religion, our traditions, our heritage, our safety, our freedom of choice. Less than 300 men and women in Washington are making decisions for millions, and they are doing a darn poor job of it. Go to that ballot box in November and get them out of there.
In 2012 go back to that ballot box and get Obama out of there. He is the worst president we have ever had. He has nothing but contempt for the American people and most of us have nothing but contempt for him. God help us! God save the Republic!
